"What we're studying," said Claire, "is if obesity is primarily a neurological disorder triggered by low nutritional density food, especially in childhood. You could call it a kind of PTSD where the appetite regulating neurones fire too often the way neurones related to fear fire too often in anxiety disorders. We really don't know, but it's a promising area of research. If we are right, it will support a national policy of nutritional rights as the main route to national health and future prosperity."
Two million and eight hundred thousand people die annually from obesity related causes. It's time to hold the fast food industry and advertising media to account. Fatter means less able to fight disease and stay healthy and our population deserves better.
You've got to love yourself hun before any weight loss plan is gonna work. You've got to feel it in your bones that you're something more, a warrior queen that needs to emerge from the cocoon.
Tara looked around the store, technically obesity had set in long ago yet she wasn't noticeably much bigger than her peers. Every fashion on the stick-thin mannequins was for showing a flat belly and toned arms. They posed with plastic hips jutting outwards and a splayed hand on each. The assistants that swarmed the light girls gave her a wide berth. There was nothing in here to fit here and they knew it. Their eyes would travel briefly up and down before they moved on to a more lucrative target. Her psyche would crumble more easily than a paper bag and she would retreat to the department store her mother shopped in.
